Fire managers for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Arizona Strip District are planning to burn invasive vegetation removed as part of an ongoing riparian restoration project in the Kanab Creek Drainage, located 30 miles south of Fredonia, Arizona. The burns will begin early February 2022 and could last through late March 2022, if weather and fuel conditions allow. The riparian restoration project works to enhance wildlife habitat and protect cultural and natural resources.

Prescribed fire pile burning will be occurring in the vicinity of Arizona Highway 89A and Forest Road 248 one mile north of Jacob Lake from Tuesday, January 4th through Thursday, January 6th on the North Kaibab Ranger District. 

Winter weather with snow on the ground present excellent opportunities every year for fire crews to burn and consume piled slash and woody debris left over from previous forest restoration projects. Approximately 100 acres of piles one mile north of Jacob Lake are planned for burning.
